Operation: Paradox

Post Credit Scene 2

*Phone ringing*

"Sergeant MacTavish"

"Laswell. You recordin' this?"

"I'm with the agency, Soap. I record everything. "

"Always honest Kate. I'll give ya that."

"You read the package I sent on our new asset?" asked Kate

"Asset? Interesting choice of words for an unreliable, disloyal, violent Russian."

"You've done your homework."

"Damn right I did...May I continue?" asked Soap.

"Something tells me you will."

"I reckon we witnessed our fair share of shite..but is this for real? Or a bloody fuckin' joke?"

"It's real, Soap" assured Kate.

"Then what kind of steamin' mad fuckery is in the redacted bits?"

"Why don't you tell me?" asked Kate.

"I'm askin' you to tell me. 'Cause this reeks of PSYOPS, no offense, that's more your bag than mine."

"Your reaction isn't surprising, but.. I assure you, Soap. We need to treat this threat seriously. Deadbolt are only just realizing what they're up against. Which is why I need you to know just... just a little bit more than them." explained Kate.

"A little? Jesus, Kate."

"Given his..resume..Ravenov's presence may be our ace in the hole. Him and...our other asset I've arranged."

"He's a liability, Laswell. Sure as the rising sun..unless you got a file on that too."

"Not yet. if he tries to slip the leash...I trust you to handle it."

"What are my rules?" asked Soap.

"You have execute authority. You see a need..choose your move..and I will back it. No questions asked."

"Roger that"

"And Soap...I know you should be in Madripoor with the rest of the team especially back in the field so soon. But I need you to trust me on this assignment."

"I do Kate. You mentioned another asset on this mission. Who you had in mind?" asked Soap.

"You'll be seeing her soon."

"Her?" asked Soap.

"That'll be all Sergeant"

*Hangs up and dials a new number*

"Go for Jill."

"I take it you read the package I sent you?" asked Kate.

"I did. When do we start?" asked Jill.

"You'll be debriefed further on the chopper in the AM along with Sergeant MacTavish. It's gonna be a very busy day Miss Valentine"
